www.yahoo.com redirected to in.yahoo.com

[Solaris]

Whenever I type the address 'www.yahoo.com', my browser everytime get redirected to 'in.yahoo.com'. So cannot access 'www.yahoo.com'. Is there a way by which i can access 'www.yahoo.com', without being redirected?

Even I have noticed this. For now, you'll have to visit manually by clicking "Yahoo.com" link on Yahoo India. This will save a cookie & next time when you refresh or visit again - you'll be directed to yahoo.com. This goes off once cookies are cleared. I am also searching a workaround for this.

A temporary solution would be, In FF3
Visit yahoo.com manually once. This will save cookie.
goto Tools>Options>Privacy>Show Cookie
yahoo.com> a cookie with cookie name "DNR".
You'll have to retain this cookie.

Or when you get Yahoo India page, paste this in address bar & press Enter.

javascript:setDNR(1);void(0)

its normal yahoo.com takes you to your local "local the the origin of your country" yahoo ,its same for me yahoo.com take me to http://uk.yahoo.com/?p=us ,yahoo made this change around a year ago or so ,uk`s yahoo address was yahoo.co.uk , but if u wanted lets say usa yahoo then try this http://us.yahoo.com/?p=us ,btw its same with google!!

why don't you want to go to your country's home page anyway.

Yahoo World is better that localised versions. And there'll be so many options & stuff in Yahoo World like movies etc whereas Yahoo India gives only India specific stuff.

if i go to yahoo is takes me to au.yahoo7.com that's because there is a channel 7 in australia that has their site hosted by yahoo
